The festival also has themed weekends such as Chivalry Weekend, Oktoberfest and Children's Weekend. The Renaissance Festival in Maryland started in 1977, joining a growing trend to celebrate the culture of 16th- and early 17th-century England dominated by Shakespeare and King Henry VIII. Faires and festivals are held around the country, including at locations in Pennsylvania, California and New York.  « Show less
